Demeanor and actions play a large part too. Guessing you and your husband were civil and cooperative. Had ya'll been yelling at the officer or were acting suspicious most likely would have been detained until plates cleared.

I always try to understand that there is more than one side to any story. From the article: ' . . . but remained on active duty.' I feel that this is simply wrong.

Bombing a mosque or any building is a terrorist act. Including these below along with trolling comments under the guise of "hate crimes" OTOH... The first one they'd be far more upset if a painting of their guy was left out there and the second one is kinda creative. All in all, the religious groups need to all lighten up.

If this is true, this is idiotic. Technology is supposed to make things easier, not more complicated. If anything, just list situations where it should be OFF, not when it should be ON. This to me is sort of like having, "turn on the black box" as part of a pilots emergency landing checklist.

The report I've read (and it was on huffpo so who knows) said that she had gone out in her pajamas to talk to the officers in the car, and the officer had shot her in the stomach, through the car door. If that's the case, it sounds like it has the hallmarks of an ND. Either way, as you say, bad for the officer. What would that be - Manslaughter? If that's the case, it would be on the car cams, so body cam is irrelevant. Stupidity if left untreated is self-correcting If ya can't be good, look good, if that fails, make 'em laugh.

Not turned on could mean malfunctioning either at the unit or the storage. Not enough info yet. Which brings up an interesting question, if an officer is equipped with a body cam but for some reason it's not working, should they not go on calls?

Employees Across U.S. Fired After Joining ‘Day Without Immigrants’ Protest
Bolas replied to airdvr's topic in Speakers Corner
That particular argument has been brought up for decades. Honestly, I don't understand it either, except for the dirty little secret that undocumented workers are the secret sauce of a LOT of businesses around the country and most employers/law enforcement just give it a wink and a nod because it's good for business[/I]. It's one of the reasons ICE (traditionally) doesn't crack down on ALL undocumented workers -- typically just the violent criminal ones -- until this latest nonsense with Trump and company. Businesses don't want to lose their ability to hire labor at below legal wages and they can hire undocumented workers for below minimum wage because the undocumented workers are not likely to file any complaints with the government. This is not the fault of any one party, nor President, this has been an issue since the "official" end of slavery and the introduction of the minimum wages and worker protections. The same can be said for H1B visas and unpaid internships. And laws that allow paying less than minimum wage if employees work on tips. All are loopholes that need to be closed.

When does this moment occur? Does each and every person become a person at this same moment? Do we rely on the Supreme Court to tell us when this moment is? Nope.

This is one of the few sensible things said on this topic in this forum. The first question that must be answered about abortion is: At what point along the continuum of conception to birth does a human life begin? Everything else is obfuscation. When able to survive outside of the womb without the aid of machines. Prior to that, it's solely the fetus carriers decision what she chooses to do with her body's biological processes.

Same can be said for gun laws. Republicans need to leave uteruses (uteri? ) alone, Democrats need to leave guns alone.

Then you should appreciate when women, (who can get pregnant), find their reproductive healthcare stripped away by old white men who can't. Besides, I don't think there's anyone trying to stop veterans from getting the healthcare they need after having served in the military. The issue is the mess and funding issues that caused it to flounder, mostly caused by partisan issues which is just mind blowing. Enlisted pay is shit and the consequence of doing a good job is death and injury. Everyone should be throwing money at some type of veteran advocacy group, it's what they need to make it happen How about this, everyone post a Veterans support group they know of, everyone else donate $20 to it, more if you can but it would be cool if we all could donate to as many as possible. Quit with the words, start with the actions. Iraq and Afghanistan Veterans of America https://www.facebook.com/IAVA.org/ https://iava.org/support/donate/ Ironically veterans assistance groups such as these are part of the problem as when government funding is determined they're factored in. Not saying don't donate to them, but if the VA truly did it's job most of these would be unnecessary.

Is the VA providing your care directly or just paying for it? As you stated earlier, VA could work directly with TriCare or other providers and pay the out of pocket expenses. Real heroes always deny that they are so will simply say thanks for your service and sacrifice.

Good to hear a success story.

Trump taps vaccine skeptic for new commission on "vaccine safety"

Or it's a genius move to debunk the anti-vaxxer movement once and for all, especially if "one of them" is running it. -
Name something that is a bad idea to do naked.
Bolas replied to JohnyCrawford's topic in The Bonfire
Having been to many nudist beaches/colonies, I can tell you that once you are used to people not wearing clothes, it is no more "psychologically traumatising" to see all shapes and sizes naked as it is to see them with clothes. In fact, in my opinion, there is a beauty to walking around care-free and not being subjected to constant branding and advertising and displays of wealth and/or other fashion "musts"... Nearly naked can be more "psychologically traumatizing" as the eye is drawn to the minimal clothing or so I've been told... In nudist situations the eye contact level is very high. -
Longmont City Council will take up skydiving noise
Bolas replied to stratostar's topic in General Skydiving Discussions
She never has to start paying. That is not a part of a court order. It will be up to the dz to do what they can to get the money from her. I once had to garnish a credit union account to collect. Jerry Baumchen Per this post the court has the money already as was required to appeal. http://www.dropzone.com/cgi-bin/forum/gforum.cgi?post=4748810#4748810 Stupidity if left untreated is self-correcting If ya can't be good, look good, if that fails, make 'em laugh. -
Wendy, it's not even that. Only businesses with more than 15 employees need to provide Male and Female bathrooms. There is no requirement at all to provide specific transgender restrooms. Always wondered why public bathrooms were segregated, as bathrooms in people's homes aren't. Figured it was a cost saving measure even though individual bathrooms might be more efficient, especially at places that may tend to have more of one gender than the other at times. Seems to me for those that don't want a TG person in a sex segregated bathroom to only use individual public bathrooms and encourage the public places they go to convert their restrooms to individual bathrooms. Either that or just stop meddling in others lives. Stupidity if left untreated is self-correcting If ya can't be good, look good, if that fails, make 'em laugh.

You forgot the part where every "fix" involves giving the government more power.

Short answer is they're angry. They don't want to debate about it or even talk about it, they just want to be angry. If they are peaceful and angry, that's fine but seems these days any "protest" without a clear goal and importantly andend time devolves into riots and looting. They don't really have any practical suggestions for ways for both sides to avoid issues in the future either. The person was always "defenselesly murdered in cold blood by the police" regardless of their record and the video and forensics. Sadly all of which is counterproductive for both sides.

When some people consider other people to be equal to objects, that's a problem. We're not talking about people, we're talking about voluntary group associations. Would you support registration of all KKK members? Stupidity if left untreated is self-correcting If ya can't be good, look good, if that fails, make 'em laugh.

This is why these laws make no sense as there's no way legislation can keep up with technological advances. Foresee the next advancement in cloud infrastructure will be fully encrypted networking, memory, and storage that the hosts have no access to so even if asked for the data by a government, at most they could give them would be a large encrypted virtual disk file.
